Stones and scoops and hidden treasure
Big maps, secret treasure, serious exploring and a whole lot of joy.
Introduction
Travelling doesn’t always mean going far. Sometimes it’s a backyard map, a pocket full of river stones, a ticket you kept. Sometimes it’s that old feeling of staining paper with tea and burning the edges to make a treasure map and knowing, completely, that the X was real.
Wild Adventures is our celebration of that instinct to explore. It’s about place and movement and memory. Nothing here needs to be accurate. We’re not chasing correct borders or true north. We’re giving kids the materials and the space to say I was here.
From Smudge to You
Below you'll find the collection of creative activities we've used to bring this theme to life at Smudge. Each one is an invitation to play, experiment, and see where the materials take you. Pick and choose what excites you and adapt them to your own space.
